There are planned road works on Makdssi street in Hamra starting March 24 until April 10 and few roads will be blocked during that period. Traffic is already horrible in Hamra so I’m finding it hard to imagine how much worse it could get!

On another hand, I find it funny when some news portal or website asks you to stay away from Hamra during these planned works, as if Hamra is some remote area that we visit from time to time. In all cases, I’m glad they planned these works before the summer season. They should give the contractor a medal for that LOL!
